Amazing cookware, Never Knew It Could Be This GOOD!May 19, 2007
By Todd March
Over the years I have used a variety of cookware--aluminum bottomed stainless Revere Ware, Magnalite Professional, Calphalon, Calphalon Professional NonStick. When I finally had to throw out the last of my tattered collection, I started to look for some stainless cookware that would stand the test of time and offer performance to boot. I decided to splurge on this All-Clad Copper Core.
One of the pieces I recieved was this 4-Quart saucepan. I love to use this to cook pasta for two, and it's the perfet size for making stock with one chicken carcass or a risotto for several. Love this pot!
Delighted to report that I am THRILLED with this expensive splurge! All-Clad is NOT about expensive hype and status, those these pans are beautifully made, instead they do everything cookware should, and have literally changed the way I cook. Having attended CIA and worked as a professional chef for a few years, I know the golden rule for food not sticking: preheat pan, add oil, let oil heat for 5-10 seconds, then add food. Using these guidelines with the Copper Core, nothing sticks! And I mean for some things, like omelets or fried eggs in the 10" frypan, the performance is as good as my brand new Calphalon NonStick was; when you can just slide omelets and fried eggs out of the pan without ANY sticking at all, why would you ever need Nonstick or Teflon based products?!
However, these pans are also superbly capable of developing a fond on the pan bottom for deglazing and subsequent sauces; in fact I have had them give every last bit of the fond up when deglazed, almost cleaning the pan for me! That's the best thing about them--they do everything right. I am not sure if it's All-Clad propriety stainless "recipe" or what, but these pans are so amazing to be able to function on all levels from eggs sliding out with ZILCH sticking to chicken breasts sticking just enough to develop rich fond for complete deglazing, to the light and glazy fond from sauteed onions and garlic for developing a richer risotto when deglazed with wine.
Mind you, this is partly about knowing some basic cooking principles, and these pans might not act so obligingly in non experienced hands, because when I read about people commenting on how everything sticks in their All-Clad stainless interior, I know it isn't All-Clad's fault, believe me!
I have found the copper core very responsive and quick to adjust to temperature. Perhaps not as great as true copper pot and pans, but noticeably better than aluminum cores (Stainless line) or anodized aluminum (Magnalite Pro/Calphalon). These pans heat up and boil water faster than anything I have ever used, aside from true copper cookware, and when turning the heat down, or removing from burner, they also cool incredibly quickly. It's nice to have semi-copper performance with the ease of stainless steel clean-up. And this cookware does clean-up quickly and easily, particularly when using Barkeepers Friend. I use plastic and wooden utensils (no metal) and they still look almost brand new after several months.
The copper band however does tarnish and discolor just as much and just as fast as a true copper pot or pan, so if you are fanatic, you will need to polish the tarnish away fairly often (at least every other week). However this is barely noticeable for us real world users, and Barkeepers friend does a good job of semi-polishing the copper (but it won't gleam).
I know, I know, they are SO expensive. But honestly, if you know how to cook or want to learn with responsive cookware, I honestly feel this is a great investment. I am wholeheartedly thrilled that I made it and cannot recommend highly enough.

Great product. The pan is all it is supposed to be and all that the company claims it to be.
It's A Pan to OwnFeb 02, 2011

Because of the previous purchaser, I bought this pan. I make fudges and needed a pan that kept even temperature. I loved the All Clad Stainless 3 Qt but the handle was so awkward and thin it rolled in my hand whenever I tried to cast the fudge. I tested this copper core pan out and the boil on my slurry was even and constant with no hot spots. The time it took to cook the liquid out of the sugar was half of what I expected. If I was told it took 25 minutes to cook ... in this pan it took 11 minutes and it was fully cooked. Amazing. The handle did stay cool for carrying and lifting. Very pleased with this purchase. If you think it's expensive, (and it certainly is) remember this. I used A Dansk pan, a Cuisinart 4 Qt pan, a heavy Wolfgang Puck Pan and even the microwave at times. In trying to make a Penuche fudge (very delicate to cook) I ruined 7 batches in a row over three days with the other pans. Count that up, and I wasted almost $70.00 worth of ingredients including gift boxes they were cast into and all that butter and marshmallow. So the pan matters tremendously. I now feel confident that I will have a short cooking time and an even temperature, and the only mistake will be not watching the Candy Thermometer closely. The pan is amazing. Can't wait to use it tomorrow and the next day and the next day ...Wild Irish Rose Fudges
